Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God. (1.Cor 4:5)
When Jesus returns it will not matter whether our fellow servants thought we were wrong or right. It won’t even matter if we ourselves in a moment of weakness started wondering whether we had gone crazy. What will matter is if our Lord is satisfied with our service to him.
On that day he will put everything right. Many who may have appeared to others to be doing poorly will be praised by God because they were doing exactly what he told them to do. Others who seem to be doing great will be rebuked, or even rejected by Him because of wrong motives, secret sin or disobedience.
Let’s live for that day, and those words out of our master’s mouth. Well done, you good and faithful servant.
